"Wei Shuo returned to the party to do private affairs for Zhong Sikong. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhan Zhao reported in detail what he understood, and Liu Mang nodded.

……

Liu Mang inspected the affairs of his eldest son, and listened to Xu Huang's report on the military affairs of the party.

After a short rest for the eldest son, the team continued to set off, passing through Nie County, crossing the Taiyue Mountains, entering the Taiyuan realm, and arriving in Qi County.

In Qi County, Liu Mang broke up with Qiao Zhiyong and Liu Shu.

Before parting, Liu Mang said to Qiao Zhiyong: "There is one thing, I have to ask Brother Qiao for help." ”

"That's what the captain commands."

"It's not very convenient for the official to come forward in this matter, so I want to ask Brother Qiao to do it for me. It's just that Brother Qiao is going to break the fortune again. ”

After Liu Mang explained in detail, Qiao Zhiyong patted his chest and promised. "Don't worry, as long as it can be done with money, it's not a problem! Qiao promised to complete the matter when the captain returned south. ”

……

From Taiyuan Zhaoyuze, cross Luliang Mountain and enter Xihe County.

All the way north, in early August, Liu Mang arrived at Meiji.

Meiji is the location of Hu Luguang's Hun Guard.

In the past two months, Hu Luguang has held many consultations with the Southern Xiongnu and determined all matters related to the meeting between Liu Mang and Gegen Shan Yu.

This meeting is of epoch-making significance to both Han and Hungary.

Liu Mang is the chief minister of the Han court under the emperor of the Han Dynasty and above hundreds of millions of people.

And Gegen Shan Yu, among the leaders of the various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, is the strongest and most influential.

Four hundred years ago, after Gaozu Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, between Han and Hungary, there was a war and peace.

For the sake of development, the two sides have also had many high-level meetings. And the level of this meeting is undoubtedly the highest level in history!

If this meeting can be successful, the relations between the Han Dynasty and the Southern Xiongnu will be improved in an all-round way.

The Han Dynasty will greatly reduce the threat from the Southern Xiongnu. At the same time, the Southern Xiongnu could also act as a buffer between the territory of the Han Dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu. Stop the barbaric and murderous Northern Xiongnu from encroaching on the territory of the Han Dynasty.

If the Southern Xiongnu could improve their relations with the Han Dynasty, they would have been able to obtain more fertile pastures and wintering grounds south of the Great Wall. Thus, the mortality rate of livestock in winter was reduced and the development of various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu was promoted.

In short, this meeting is of great significance to both Han and Hungary.

Both sides attach great importance to it.

……

After many consultations, Hu Luguang and the representatives of the Southern Xiongnu side have agreed on various details of the meeting.

In addition to the time and place that have been determined a long time ago, it also includes the size of the escort team and the distance between the two escort brigades.

And the most important thing is the problem of Liu Mang and Ge Gen alone in the guards team of the two.

The two sides agreed that, in addition to the escort brigade stationed in the distance, Liu Mang and Gegen Shan Yu would each bring a hundred armored knights to accompany the escort, including one chief and one deputy commander of the guard.

When the leaders of the two sides met and discussed, the entourage included: one staff member, two interpreters, two personal guards, and five slaves and maids.

On the Han side, the head Liu Mang, the assistant Du Ruhui, and the interpreters Shangguan Wan'er and Lu Kuo.

And the escort commander and personal guard are related to the safety of Liu Mang and others. Hu Luguang took the initiative to apply and acted as Liu Mang's personal guard.

Liu Mang said: "General Mingyue is a handsome man who commands thousands of troops and horses, and he is too aggrieved to serve as my personal guard. ”

"The main public security is in danger of everything, and Hu Luguang is not afraid of grievances."

Liu Mang smiled and shook his head. "General Mingyue is not afraid of grievances, and he also has to consider Gegen's feelings. General Mingyue is the captain of the Southern Huns who is ordered by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and if he acts as a guard, it is easy for the other party to mistakenly think that my Han intends to belittle them. General Mingyue also commands the escort brigade, and it is enough to answer from a distance. ”

Liu Mang ordered Hua Rong and Yang Zaixing to serve as the chief and deputy commanders of the guards.

As one of the personal guards, Zhanzhao is a matter of course.

The most surprising thing is another candidate for personal guards!

Liu Mang actually chose a little Wu Commander named Zu Ti from among the low-level guards!

Hu Luguang had to speak again. "Although Gegen Shan Yu has the intention of friendship, he can't prevent it. The subordinates thought that the lord's choice of Wu Chang as his personal guard was too hasty, so he asked the lord to think twice. ”

Even Liu Mang's Su Wei commander and Zu Li's boss Yang Zaixing disagreed.

Zu Ti was originally under the command of Gao Pet, and Liu Mang appointed him to follow him to the north. Yang Zaixing is not very familiar with this subordinate, so it is not surprising that he has doubts.

Even, even Wan'er did not agree with Liu Mang's approach.

Wan'er said to Liu Mang in private: "Husband, although Zu Ti is capable, he was originally Zhong Sikong's guard, and he has just been transferred to serve as her husband's guard. Zu Ti may be familiar with Zhong Sikong's habits, but he is not yet familiar with his husband's habits, how can he be up to this important task? ”

Wan'er said it euphemistically, but the implicit meaning is: This ancestor is originally Zhong Xuan's person, and he doesn't know his details. In case Zhong Xuan deliberately planted it, how can he guarantee that he will not have different intentions?

Everyone was worried, but Liu Mang had absolute confidence.

Others don't know the details of Zu Ti, but Liu Mang knows it!

In the eyes of others, Zu Ti is just a little captain. But Liu Mang knew that Zu Ti had the ability to command thousands of troops and horses!

Moreover, Zu Ti's kung fu is not inferior to the generals around him.

Liu Mang asked for Zu Ti from Zhong Xuan and had been secretly observing him.

On the way north, Zu Ti always maintained the habit of smelling chickens and dancing.

Moreover, Liu Mang has seen Zu Ti's wrestling and fighting kung fu with his own eyes. If you talk about hand-to-hand combat with step-down, the fierce general Yang Zaixing is not his opponent!

Although everyone persuaded him repeatedly, Liu Mang still insisted on letting Zu Ti serve as his personal guard.

Everyone was helpless, Wan'er and Hu Luguang could only privately tell Zhanzhao to pay more attention and ensure the safety of the lord Liu Mang.

Liu Mang did this, in addition to the reason that Zu Ti was a summoned talent, there was another layer of consideration.

This meeting is of great significance, and the plan is well prepared.

The two sides agreed that the final list of participants in the meeting should be notified to the other side in advance.

In the Luoyang army, fierce generals are like clouds.

It's easy to choose a few fierce generals who are one of the best to serve as personal guards.

However, Liu Mang did not want to do this.

Gegen, who can become the single Yu of the various tribes of the Southern Xiongnu, must have something extraordinary. His political acumen and wisdom will not be inferior to that of the princes of the Central Plains.

At the time of this meeting, the Han court put forward several alternatives. Gergendan, on the other hand, chose the latest of the alternatives, August 15.

Liu Mang believes that the purpose of Gegen's choice is to have more time to understand the situation in the Han court.

With Gegen's ingenuity, he must have an understanding of the well-known generals in the Luoyang Army.

The purpose of this meeting was to promote peace between Han and Hungary, but both sides should take advantage of this opportunity to strive for greater interests for each side.

It's just that this time the competition of interests does not rely on soldiers, horses, swords and guns, but on wisdom!

Using a famous warrior as a personal bodyguard, although it is safer, will appear cowardly and make Gegen despise.

And with a little-known personal guard, it can not only convey more friendliness to Gegan, but also show confidence.

Therefore, Liu Mangcai chose Zhanzhao and Zu Li, who were capable but not famous, to serve as personal guards.

Liu Mang wanted Gegen to see the bearing and courage of the Han Dynasty. Let the Southern Xiongnu revere the Han from the heart and surrender to the Han! (To be continued.) )
